The re-routes live in one dispatcher’s head.
Your WMS and TMS handle the standard load. The re-routes, the short-ships and the customer who always calls are held by one person, and it works until that person takes a day off.
Map what is still manual
2 to 4 weeks watching how dispatch, load scheduling and driver coordination run on a normal Tuesday. The SOP describes something else.
Build it into the system you run
The exception handling goes into the WMS and TMS workflow your team already opens every morning.
Add engineers you do not have to hire
Most freight operators run a small IT team that already owns the WMS and the phone at four in the morning. We bring engineers who have shipped in dispatch and freight systems.
The work your WMS does not cover runs on one person.
A re-route, a short-ship, a customer who needs a different paperwork trail. Each one gets fixed by hand, the day it comes up.

StopsThe day that person is out
We build the second route into the first, in the WMS and TMS you already run.
We follow the work, then build the first piece.
An engineer sits with your dispatchers and your warehouse leads and follows the work. We pick the one process worth fixing first, build it into the systems you already run, and stay after launch, because month two is when the real exceptions show up.
Dispatch and re-routing
The rules your dispatcher applies from memory, written down and running in the system.
Load scheduling and the yard
Appointment windows, dock assignment and the calls that move them, handled where the load already lives.
Order and paperwork exceptions
The short-ships, the split shipments and the customer-specific documents that arrive by email today.
Engineers who stay past launch
The same engineers through month two and three, when the re-routes nobody documented start showing up.
Two systems that held when the volume arrived.
Neither one moves freight. Both had a ceiling nobody could see until the rush hit, which is what a peak week does to a WMS.
Your dispatchers already know what breaks.
We bring engineers who have shipped in freight systems, and they work in the tools you run.
Nobody agrees on what to build first.
More candidates than you can fund. 2 to 4 weeks on one problem, ending in an order of work and a first piece scoped.
Questions about freight and warehousing work
Can you work in our WMS or TMS?
Yes. The build goes through the platform you already run, and the engineers work in your repo and your ticket system. If your WMS cannot carry the change, you hear that before a scope exists.
The re-routes only live in one dispatcher’s head. Where do you start?
With that dispatcher. The first pass writes down what they do and why they do it, then we build the piece that stops the knowledge sitting in one person.
We have a two person IT team. Who manages your engineers?
Perform manages them on our side. You get the names, the start dates, and the person accountable for them, and they sit in your standup.
Start with a conversation
Your dispatcher can name three fixes and your WMS will carry one of them. We read the yard, the dock and the tender flow, then name the one worth doing.
